Colorado Rockies Home Opener 2014

The Colorado Rockies play their home opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday at 2:10 p.m. in Denver. To start the day, Troy Renck and Patrick Saunders will lead a discussion during a breakfast at Wynkoop Brewery. We'll continue live updating during and after the game.

Patrick Saunders: "I love the way [Corey Dickerson] plays baseball. If he stays on the track he is now, he'll ben an All-Star, players tell me." He eats and breathes baseball and he's ultra confident he can play center field.

Saunders: The Rockies have drafted a lot of first-round pitchers. "The only way they'll get pitchers or home grown. But they don't have a legitimate plan. There's been a lot of players who have flamed out. I wish I had a better explanation for you."

Do you think Belisle healthy? Renck: "There's a lot of tread that's worn off the tire [for him]." The arm is never meant to pitch. You only have so many pitches in you. There's not a better competitor in the clubhouse than Matt Belisle. Relievers reach their expiration date. He's just at the other of his career.

Question: If we were to trade Cargo and Tulo for two pitchers, who would they be? Sullivan: "First of all, I don't think it would happen. Typically teams only make those if they're top pitching prospects. I think these guys are premiere defensive players as well. It would be the real blockbuster trade you'd hear about."

Renck: The Cardinals would fit. But Cargo will have many more suitors. Teams feel like they can find outfielders. Rockies would be less likely to move Cargo than Tulo. Cargo's contract will be down to $55 million after this year. They're at a crossroads. If they're successful. Don't trade one of us. Get better players around us. Payroll would have to go up to $115 million.

Question: "Sept. 15, 2010. We lose 13 of 14 to end the season since then. And since then, we haven't been good. What happened in that September? Something happened then, and we haven't recovered it since."

Patrick Saunders: "He's up near the Cincinnati area. He would love to get one more shot to manage, but I don't think that is ever going to happen. Whether we see Jim on the major league scene, I don' t know."
